And what does this “Christian” rapper teach? I listen to Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen all the time. Everything they say can be verified in the Bible. It’s okay to question and verify what a person says. Personally, I have not found much, if anything, that I disagree with on Joel’s and Joyce’s messages.

Show me a true pot head and I will show you someone who not only acts dumber than normal, they actually look dumber. You can’t convince me that pot doesn’t dumb you down. Maybe not as fast as cocaine, meth, or heroine, but it definitely takes it’s toll on a person.

That may very well be the case, and I know that I have much anecdotal evidence to the same. However, If we, as conservatives, are using the argument of "you can't do that, it's for your own good", aren't we really saying that the leftest policies that use the same argument have validity? "You can't eat twinkies, they make you fat and you'll get diabetes" is essentially the same argument. We are either a free people, who make our own choices and then live with the consequences, or we're subjects.

I know many people who smoke, who I bet could run intellectual circles around you... Its not the drug.. Its the person... Pot DOES make one lethargic (I will admit that), but it does not make them stupid... Maybe the Lethargy is causing a person to no longer seek further knowledge, but once again, that does not make them stupid...
Your argument is full of un-educataed ignorance.. Sure, some pot smokers are stupid... But how many people out there that DON'T smoke are JUST as stupid?? I bet the number is equal, could even be greater... Who knows... (not you or I...)
Just because you either buy into all of the old propaganda, or actually have some person reason to hold a grudge against grass, I bet if you do a little soul searching, you will realize that all the "problems" you associate with a person consuming grass, are not a result of the grass, but of the individual smoking it...
Just Like Alcohol... Grass can be good for some, and bad for others... It really is a case-by-case issue of personal responsibility...
I have smoked in the past...
1. Did I ever get Violent? NO..
2. Did I ever commit a crime to attain drugs? NO (besides the crime of possession)
3. Have I ever hurt ANYONE under the influence of Grass? NO..
4. Have I ever driven under the influence (of any drug)? NO
5. Did Grass ever inhibit my ability to live well? NO..
6. Did I ever NOT go to work because of grass? NO..
And I know I am not alone...

Let’s tax tobacco out of existence because it is so unhealthy and dangerous. Now, let’s legalize pot because it doesn’t have any effect on your lungs, doesn’t cause cancer, doesn’t impair your thinking, etc. Doesn’t anyone see the hypocrisy of the left in any of this?

Ever try to silence a .30-06? You can’t silence it, you only make it quieter. That’s why the proper term is suppress, not silence. And the whole poacher argument makes no sense. Poachers are criminals already without suppressors. Allowing suppressors is not going to turn law abiding hunters into instant poachers.

It’s fake. Really, you go to youtube to confront someone with something this serious?? How about going to the police? The story suggests a 13 year old might not think about that. I agree. What about NOW!!!??? No statute of limitations here, not if the accusations are true. Looks like a grab at 15 minutes of fame to me.

The very first scripture I researched shows she has an agenda. Nowhere does 1 Peter 3 say to call your husband master. If you read the entire chapter and keep it in context it talks about honoring your husband and allowing him to be the man of the house, provider, etc. Sounds to me like a thinly veiled attempt to discredit the Bible by calling it’s commandments and word outdated and archaic. If she really “lived according to the Bible” she would understand the Word was, is, and always will be. There is no such thing as the Bible “living past it’s usefulness”.

They couldn’t help it. Got all the way to end before we find out it has to be men demanding that their female counterparts look feminine. Whatever. Maybe, just maybe, it’s because conservatives are far less likely to be lesbians, pro-choice baby killers, and man haters.

No need to apologize Shep or Fox News. I’ve seen worse and more graphic on primetime NBC, CBS, etc. True, it’s not real on something like CSI but still more graphic. Also, this is far less graphic and shocking than say, CNN, Fox, or any other network showing the violence that is going on overseas, muslim fanatics hanging soldiers from bridges and burning them, or dragging dead Americans through the streets and mutilating their bodies. So what if he shot himself? He didn’t shoot anyone else so all is good. One more psycho off the streets.
